So much history down there! I love imagining how things looked back in the days down there…I bet they were so full of ppl!

Really great artistry, and a nice chill place to enjoy the river a bit. It is a trek though! You also need to not be weird and paranoid about homeless people, they're just living down there and not really by choice. Be polite and just continue on your trek. It's worth the trouble I think. Likely more people will want to and get to see all the art with the current Aqueduct Reimagined phase 1 plans.

There is a building over the first entrance that we went to and ended up walking 14 minutes down the road to the other entrance which was open. It was definitely worth it. Below are 2 photos showing the Google Earth view of the entrance next to the dinosaur bbq and the building that exits there now. The last photo is of the entrance we walked to that is still accessible.

There's another entrance by Morse lumber. The entrance is off of broad St I think but then you need to walk a mile or so in the dark for the entire length

Through the condo construction parking lot on the east side of the river at the dam. Go down the embankment and along the aqueduct, underneath the Dinosaur BBQ/old train station, and under the library. Look for the chain link fence on the right and the split in the fence where the red ladder is and climb down in.

If you search it on Google maps it will take you to the end, if you go as Lindsay boossy said, it will take you to the best, and less creepy (smelly) parts
